RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Text:
SSSD supports user and group resolution, authentication, and authorization in setups without UIDs or SIDs In traditional System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) deployments, users and groups either have POSIX attributes set or SSSD can resolve the users and groups based on Windows security identifiers (SID). With this update, in setups that use LDAP as the identity provider, SSSD now supports the following functionality even when UIDs or SIDs are not present in the LDAP directory: * User and group resolution through the D-Bus interface * Authentication and authorization through the plugabble authentication module (PAM) interface

Description Jakub Hrozek 2017-02-22 17:05:06 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/ticket/3310

Many projects depend on SSSD now to support application integration through Apache modules or directly through SSSD's D-Bus interface. And often, the users and groups in the directory have no POSIX attributes. We should support these use-cases, in particular:
 * look up users and groups through the D-Bus interface
 * look up group membership through the D-Bus interface including membership in non-POSIX groups
 * test authentication and access control through PAM

Comment 15 Lukas Slebodnik 2017-06-07 07:39:04 UTC 
(In reply to Dan Lavu from comment #14)
> Verified against sssd-1.15.2-33.el7.x86_64

Please test with the latest version of sssd. There was fixed bug related to GetUserGroups bz#1449729 

There is also missing info about users in ldap "sssd_noposix".
Non-posix user means that the users in LDAP will not have UID/GID.
(and  UID/GID cannot be generated by ID-mapping from SID).
Comment 16 Dan Lavu 2017-06-07 13:18:46 UTC 
Lukas, 

Correct no posix, did not have the uid/gid/gecos attribute, will test again today.
Comment 17 Dan Lavu 2017-06-08 12:39:42 UTC 
After Lukas's seal of approval I'll mark this as verified.

Comment 18 Lukas Slebodnik 2017-06-08 13:14:08 UTC 
Dan,
you need to disable ID mapping:
    ldap_id_mapping = False

otherwise sssd will be able to generate UID/GID from SID.

Then you should be able to resolve "sssd posix" but *NOT* "sssd noposix".

You should be able to resolve both using "appdomain.test" But you cannot use glibc interface (getent passwd) because "sssd noposix" does not have UID. So you need to test with dbus interface here. 
You will get phoneNumber and uidNumber for "sssd posix" but only telephoneNumber for "sssd noposix"
